  The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does. 
   
  Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors. 
   
  From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty. 
   
  Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.

  Red Dawn - What If the Soviets...

  The Cold War, which dominated much of the 20th century, was a clash of ideologies, political ambitions, and global power struggles. It was a battle between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, each determined to impose its vision of the future upon the world. The Cold War never boiled over into full-scale war, but the fear of nuclear annihilation and the constant threat of conflict shaped the political landscape. But what if the Soviet Union had won this prolonged battle, and the world as we know it had unfolded differently? 
  In the original timeline, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the end of the Cold War, leaving the United States as the undisputed global superpower. However, in this alternate reality, the Soviets have triumphed, their system of governance and ideology proving resilient and successful. How did this shift happen? The end of the Cold War came not with the fall of the Berlin Wall, but with the extension of Soviet influence across Europe, Asia, and beyond, ushering in a new age of global communism. 
  The victory of the Soviets would have drastically altered the political and economic systems of the world. The capitalist model, so dominant in the West, would have been eclipsed by socialism, and Western governments would have been forced to adopt forms of governance that more closely resembled the Soviet model. The United States, long a symbol of free-market capitalism and democracy, would have seen its institutions transformed, as the Soviet Union’s ideals spread through every corner of the globe.

  Never give up, especially on yourself. 
  In L.L. Kirchner’s Pushcart-nominated memoir of “resistance and surrender… [the author’s] voice is humble and self-aware” (Kirkus Reviews) as she undertakes a desperate post-divorce search for nirvana, leaving behind university halls in the Persian Gulf for the streets of Manhattan and, ultimately, a sex cult in India. 
  Between the gym her family owned and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner believed she was grounded in all things wellness. But after a tumultuous year in Qatar, which included the discovery that she'd never have children, her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone. 
  Fearing a return to her substance use disorder, she tries to regain trust in the universe through yoga, meditation, chanting, boyfriends, more yoga… Each brings some relief, but her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until illness forces her to reckon with the gift her mother had always given her—hope. 
  In a memoir that’s both rapturous and page-turning, Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical honesty — and a second date. 
  What people are saying about Blissful Thinking: 
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings awareness & normalcy to taboo questions about mental health, sex, our life's purpose. -Goodreads Review 
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book felt like a friend cozying up to me and telling her stories of exploration and loss with humor and vulnerability. -Goodreads Review 
  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you like humorous tales of spirituality seeking, addiction, cults, psychology, and relationship drama of all kinds, you'll love this witty, engaging memoir. -Goodreads Review

  Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, is a rambling traffic-choked metropolis, bursting at the seams with people striving to earn a living on its mean streets. While Nairobi has every appearance of a fast-growing, modern African city with the mushrooming skyscrapers and superhighways, the city possesses a dark underbelly. Dog Meat Samosa delves into the bowels of Nairobi’s crowded urban backstreets to paint a gritty picture of its underworld, to describe the human experience within this once glorious “City in the Sun” that has since metamorphosed into a cutthroat hustlers’ paradise.
